Hi,
i've problems trying login from login manager of my ubuntu 10.10 client 
using ldap user credential. Ldap server is squeeze.
Only using a shell after login with my account on the machine i can 
login with ldap account credential but not with login manager as gdm or 
lxdm.

this is the output of auth.log:
